Cut The Cord!

What about TV?

When you switch to internet service from TMLP, you will need to make
some decisions about existing TV services for your home or business.
While TMLP does not provide traditional TV services, there are a number
of great alternatives to consider.

TV

Many of our broadband customers are opting to join a growing trend among
Americans known as “cord cutting.” This means a departure from the
traditional model of live channels and complicated DVRs toward more
affordable and convenient online streaming options. Using an
internet-connected streaming device like a Roku, Apple TV or Google
Chromecast, most users will subscribe to a handful of services a la
carte to meet their specific demands without all the extra channels.
Some popular services include:

DirecTV Now

Description DirecTV Now is a subscription streaming television service by AT&T, which allows subscribers in the United States to stream programming from cable channels without the long term commitment.

What’s more, beyond these bulk streaming services, many premium
channels are now offering a la carte streaming service including HBO,
Showtime and Starz.

on level of service and may change over time.

Sticking with your current provider

Of course, if you really like your current cable subscription, you can
always keep that even without it being bundled to an internet package.

Antenna

There’s also the option to use an HD antenna, which receives the same
great quality picture. The only catch is that you’ll need an
omni-directional antenna and compatible TV. The models that stick to
your windows or on top of your television may not provide a reliable
picture. Check out anntenaweb.org for more
information. This site will show you what channels you can potentially
get with your antenna and how to best position the antenna for maximum
channel reception.
